"Sharing stories is still a powerful experience in the digital age. Children's literature expert Reid knows, as he shares literature with youngsters and librarians around the country ... Reid states that all selections are 'kid-tested,' so users of this book can feel comfortable grabbing a title to read aloud for ASAP programming."
--Booklist

"A great resource for programme planning, allowing the reader to select grade or subject relevant titles. Aimed at children's librarians, this book will also be useful for casual/relief teachers who are seeking an easily planned lesson, or for the teacher who is seeking a programme to inspire a ‘tired' literature class."
--The Australian Library Journal
